Hi,

we have terrible problems to get reasonable results from BAR free energy 
calculations. We basically follow Justin's tutorial for solvation of 
methanol, ethanol, diethyl-ether and neopentane in water using OPLS but 
get very strange results. The free energy curves are here:

Molecule  Energy Exper
Methanol     -8    -21
Ethanol      -9    -21
Diethylether -11    -7
Neopentane   -10   +11

any clue?
